Meet Our Team
Our team is a dynamic group of dedicated individuals committed to driving positive change within the North Carolina community and beyond. Our team has two distinct teams and focus areas -
-
The core FFORC team supports community-based programming focusing on achieving policy, systems, and environmental change efforts related to health, nutrition, and physical activity
-
The Carolina Hunger Initiative (CHI) team focuses on nutrition education and expanding access to healthy meals for kids in school through USDA child nutrition programs.
-
Additionally, many UNC-Chapel Hill students and interns support our work by joining our team and sharing their passion, talent, and expertise. See the list of our current and former student team members below.
With a shared goal of promoting health, wellness, and opportunity, we bring diverse expertise and a collaborative spirit to every endeavor​!​
